The Palms: An Art Deco Throwback

Looks like Palms’ next mixed-use development may be a blast from the past. Curbed LA first spotted a project from Gateway Equities, LLC working its way through the Department of City Planning back in 2011. Last month, plans re-emerged for “The Palms,” a mixed-use development intended for the parcel at the northeastern corner of Washington Boulevard and Overland Avenue. The project is set to stand six-stories, consisting of 126-residential units above 41,000 square feet of ground level commercial space. Locally based Plus Architects drew up the Palms’ retro design. A nice nod to Los Angeles’ rich Art Deco history, as well as the historic MGM Studios campus located directly across the street.
